Thread: Can you wear out a .22 rimfire rifle ??

I have a great little Norinco JW15 A that cost the huge sum of $220 with a Burris scope. It's been a little ripper with accuracy many hundreds of dollars above it's purchase price.
The bore is off centre and the quality and workmanship leave a lot to be desired but it shoots very well.

However after two years and over 15.000 rounds I have noticed the odd extraction issue and wonder if the accuracy maybe dropping off a little.

Question is what is the life expectancy of a low end .22 ?
I have worn out a Stirling .22 with the bolt flogging out.
i brought the Norinco used and have no idea of past use or round count.

I thought it may have lasted longer but may be not ?
